The tool builds software using custom job orchestration with workflows. CircleCI can be configured to deploy code to various environments including AWS CodeDeploy, AWS EC2 Container Service (ECS), AWS S3, Google Container Engine (GKE) and Heroku. Other cloud service deployments are scripted using SSH or by installing the API client. CircleCI supports languages that are built on Linux, C++, Javascript, .NET, PHP, Python and Ruby. Users can speed up the app-building process with expanded caching options including images, source codes, dependencies and custom caches. Automated provisioning allows parallel execution of programs resulting in less downtime waiting for a workflow to complete. CircleCI dashboard enables users to see all their builds on a single screen. It integrates with third party applications such as Slack, HipChat, Campfire, Flowdock and IRC. Pricing is per month. Support is provided via online forum and email. > > Verdict: Rated **4.6/5** by 92 users.

Very easily integrated with GitHub and other code-quality services. Able to build in macOS if necessary. > > **Cons**: I would like the ability to specify resources available to a machine, fine to charge more for this feature. I would like to use Workflows 2.0 with macOS builds. It would also be great to be able to specify which docker images are cached on all executors, fine to charge more for this feature. ----- ### "automated test do it right" — 5.0/5 > **Alvaro** | *25 June 2018* | Internet > > **Pros**: - Is integrated with several tools like slack - Configure a project is simple and quick, and most of the cases once you have done this, you will not need to log in into the platform. You will have build going in a couple of hours. - I have it running in several project and works really well. > > **Cons**: - Pricing could be a little bit better I guess or have a better free plan for beginners, I don't think any cons of using CircleCI actually. ----- ### "Does the job, but lacking in features" — 3.0/5 > **Jeffrey** | *6 May 2022* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's relatively simple to get started. I like that you can pick between Docker and VMs. It integrates with GitHub nicely. > > **Cons**: The Docker in Docker paradigm doesn't work for us since we use containers. We end up using VMs anyways. I think the configuration language is not that great to use and can quickly get unwieldy for larger CI workflows (especially when repeating jobs with different parameters). There are also outages at least once a quarter. ----- ### "Great build/deploy tool" — 5.0/5 > **Darrell "Jeremy"** | *5 December 2017* | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: CircleCI was great and easy to set up. It allows me to see what's going on with all of my builds quickly and in real time. > > **Cons**: The user management is not very good. I have 5 contributors to a repo, and I can only add two of them as users. I can't even add users that aren't a contributor to the repo. My boss, my QA people, and my PMs can't see anything that's happening in the platform. > > It's quick, easy to set up, and I like it. There are some usability fixes that are needed around user maangement, but otherwise, it's great\! And works with all of the languages I use out of the box, and with no configuration. ----- ### "CI/CD with few lines" — 4.0/5 > **Yasmany** | *14 March 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sine the release of circleci v2.0 using containers as the main advantage using circle has become much simpler and powerfull. Their integration with IOs its a powerup in front of other CI/CD platforms > > **Cons**: The ui really needs to cleanup a bit, make it simpler. Also their need to provide more integrations with third party tools > > Integration with IOs allow us to build and test the mobile apps and automatize our whole CI/CD pipeline ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/128455/circleci?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/128455/circleci) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
